I think you are talking about normal operation ("will not be on the only
feasible transit path") and Kyle is asking about misconfiguration or
similar edge cases.

Having only read this email thread and not the document itself, I assume
that traffic will fail to flow if such a misconfiguration occurred, but it
would be good to confirm/refute that.

Thanks,

Ben
